vote for kellypuffs

2007 May 9

It’s election time again. I know this because on my drive to and from work, I occasionally see campaign volunteers standing at intersections holding signs and waving to the passing cars. It’s a New England thing – I don’t get it either. Even the Colonel has been known to stand on highway overpasses with election signs.

However, I don’t follow local or national or international politics, so I can’t tell you who the players are, what their platforms are, or how I feel about any of them.

I has occurred to me, though, that I feel pretty strongly about a number of things, and therefore you should vote for me. For what? I don’t know. But if elected, here are the things I will fight for:

  • I believe the donut should be the national pastry.
  • I believe in turtleneck prom dresses, at least for MY daughter.
  • I believe in free wifi EVERYWHERE.
  • I believe that fluorescent light fixtures should be banned.
  • I believe in Hack Day
  • I believe that the wearing of spandex outside of exercise activities should be outlawed
  • I believe in the color purple
  • I believe in good coffee
  • I believe in fining people for “pomposity”
  • I WAY believe in the “no assholes” rule

More as I think of them, but in the meantime…

Vote for Kellypuffs!

    Need a campaign manager? I’m good at organizing sign-waving.

    I think this manifesto means:

    - English people get fined for pomposity
    - my current customer site gets razed to the ground for the crime of poor coffee
    - Mr Packer is outlawed for his spandex habits.

    Why ban just “comic sans”?

    I think all bad typefaces should be banned, including those that are bold, thin, or without adornment or sans-serifed.

    Let’s start with Helvetica.
    And its anorexic cousin Arial Light.
    And then there’s its overweight cousin Arial Black.
    And what’s the deal with AvantGarde – what’s so fancy, schmantzy about AvantGarde. Looks like Ariel to me.

    And what about Gautami?
    What is a gautami anyways. Sounds like a type of sausage. Or is it a disease.
    I know, it’s a disease you get from eating too much sausage.
